My Love For You

I thought I could let you go Turns out I can't live without you. Thought I could get away from the madness you brought Turns out I'm in love with the madness. When I wanted to die You were the one who pulled me through. Once the medications started You were right by my side Whispering in my ear, "Everything is gonna be okay." I believed you. I trusted you. I didn't know how wrong you could be. How wrong I could be. The past and future Blend together. There is no yesterday. There is no tomorrow. There is only today. There is only now. I was blinded by a love that wasn't mutual. You then crushed me. I still loved you. You built me back up, saying that you loved me too. Our relationship was a roller coaster. You continue to build me up And break me down. I'll always love you For you are an addiction. And and addiction needs fuel. Even after the fuel stops being given The fire will continue to burn The flames will begin to dwindle But they'll still be there. My love for you will still be there. It will never go away. Perhaps it's only a lust now... But I still feel the love for you to be near me. For you to hold me. For you to be by my side. I love you. I always have. And I always will.
